Boin Tano Forest Reserve, Protected forest reserve in Western Region, Ghana.

The Boin Tano Forest Reserve extends over 129 square kilometers of land, containing grasslands, shrublands, and dense forest vegetation near Sekondi-Takoradi.

The forest reserve, established in 1968, operated under logging concessions until 1980, when conservation measures took precedence over commercial activities.

The land ownership structure involves collaboration between the Omanhene of Aowin Traditional Council and the Boinso, Omape, and Jema communities.

Access to the reserve requires navigation through multiple watercourses, including the Tano and Bisao rivers, which form substantial swamp areas throughout the territory.

The reserve shelters 107 bird species and numerous mammals, including chimpanzees, African bush elephants, and the West African red colobus.
